Looking to change careers from nursing to finance/investments


Looking to change careers from nursing to finance/investments?
I have a bachelors degree from a state school here in MA. My gpa was somewhere around 3.0, or 3.2 at my first nursing school, but had a 3.9 the last two years at my new school. my overall gpa at my first school would be much higher had it not been for a class that my advisor would not let me drop. Have been working as a nurse for about two years now and thinking of going for something else. i initially picked nursing because at the very least it would give me a good fall back. it's been getting tedious lately though, and not as challenging. there isnt the earning potential as in investments. economics and finance have been long standing interests of mine anyway, and would rather work to make the switch now rather than later. The salary +bonus oppurtunities seem more attractive as well. I'm looking into sitting for my GMAT and getting into a decent school for a masters in finance. one school has a masters in financial planning. any suggestions in helping me make this change? all in all, my main questions are should i try and get an entry level job for a financial firm first? will that potentially help me get into a better grad school? or should i apply and just try and land some good internships while in school?
